Plan on about half a pound of meat per guest, plus two or three sides. Add exact items to your registry so the amounts are clear to everyone claiming a dish.
Whoever owns a grill usually hosts and handles the meat, while other guests split sides, drinks, and dessert across the registry.
Cornhole, horseshoes, and a sprinkler for kids all work well. Add them to the registry so someone brings the equipment instead of everyone assuming it will be there.
Yes. Turn on optional crowdfunding alongside the registry so guests can contribute cash toward the grocery run rather than shopping separately.
